TO Chief, FE Administration DAFE: 30 October 1953
25X1 A9aA,.7N
Chief, Finance Division
SUBJECT: Far East Division `T'/0's
1. The T/O's forwarded with memorandum of 23 October 1953 have
been reviewed and the field positions wherein the title indicates
that the position falls in the field of activity which is the primary
responsibility of the Office of Comptroller appear to be adequate
with the following qualifications:
25X1A6a
a, ;fission - Office of the SR - We are not
clear as to whether this position is in addition to or in lieu of
the present GS-11 Finance Officer position occupied by 25X1A9a
25X1A9a In any event we feel that adequate finance support
and control for this station requires a more Senior Finance
Officer (GS-12 or GS-13) who will be in position to assume full
finance responsibility for the Mission. This matter has been
discussed with Mr. and others of your division. 25X1A9a

Officer n Slot /9) is in addition to the Finance Officer for
25X1A2d1 and that this position will be filled by an appropriately
qualified and trained Finance Officer. If so, such provision
appears to be appropriate and necessary.
25X1A6a
c. - - We do not seem to find any provision for a
Finance Officer for this Station, although we have a current
request for assignment of a GS-9 Finance Officer to this station.
It is our opinion that such provision should be included in the
proposed T/O.
25X1A6a
d. - We assume that Slot #16, Admin. Officer (F-L)
is earmarked for an appropriately qualified and trained Finance
Officer. Such arrangement should provide needed strengthening
of finance support and performance at this station.
e. There are a number of other small stations such as
25X1A6a etc., where consideration should be given
to assignment o Finance Officers. For the present, however,
and in view of ceiling and. budgetary restrictions, we realize
that finance requirements must be met through the utilization
of "composite positions" wherein the incumbent is required to
perform a variety of duties. In such situations, it is essential

that the person or persons who are to assume responsibility for
